A collaboration between the Pop Up Soup Kitchen, Ryde Elim Church and a bunch of wonderful volunteers means that Isle of Wight homeless now have a warm, safe place for night-time respite.
Many items were stolen last night from this fantastic charity that helps those in need. A GoFundMe page has been set up for donations to help replace the stolen items and repair damage. Can you help?
Trevor Blaney came up with a great way to raise awareness for the Pop Up Soup Kitchen. With the help of Tesco in Ryde, flowers were placed across the Island this morning to spread the message.
A team of ten brave souls will be eating their way through 5kg of 'warm' pickled onions on East Monday for charity. Head down to Sandown from midday to see them complete the challenge.
Tents and sleeping bags (some donated) as well as personal belongings of homeless Islanders on the outskirts of Newport were trashed and the occupants evicted in the early hours of Wednesday morning this week with no notice.
Congratulations to Trevor Blaney from the Isle of Wight Pop Up Soup Kitchen who last night picked up the 2017 Observer Food Monthly Award for 'local food hero'. Well deserved!
